Brentford are in a relegation battle
As a fan, I know mine are to see a once great club flip the script from being a "nearly" team to a serious competitor who is genuinely viewed as a contender and winner.
And before I get my wrist slapped that other fans aren't so spoilt, it's all about context and the willingness to improve. Not many other clubs have been on the cusp for so long without anything to show for it. In fact I can't think of a single other PL club.
I’m not bothered by the money either i would happily us spend the money I’m just being realistic as the chances of us dropping £60m on Gomes are slim imo
He’s Irish mate
6: Biss, Bentancur
8: Sarr, Gray, Devine
10: Maddison, Kulu, Bergvall
I still don't really get this apparent need for a Ramsey or Gomes type.
We've got enough 8's as it is.
I think we'd need to move on one of Biss or Bentancur for adding another CM to make sense but we haven't been seriously linked with any 6's.

Scapers gonna scapeWait so we are having a pop at people who irrationally scapegoat players by naming the unfortunate scapegoats, then you end your post with who you think the scapegoat really should be?
Really? Has he thought this through?
“Gambling is strictly prohibited in Saudi Arabia under Islamic law. The country has a strict moral code, and all forms of gambling are considered haram (forbidden). The government enforces this law rigorously, and those found guilty of gambling can face severe punishments, including imprisonment and flogging.”

In the history of the game, how many 100m players have been a success and how many have been a waste of money?
We spent 65m on Solanke.
We just flipped Skipp for 20-25m pure profit. There’s a market for GLC that will surely bring a fee.
It’s not impossible
This ITK is made up shit mate. We are not in for Gomes.
That is because no other manager we had since Poch started and finished a season
With inflation 100 million will not be that expensive in a few years but maybe rather than 100 million we should be describing them as 250k per week players
Yeah it probably is .
But he’s a pretty similar type of CM to Gallagher so it does seem to me like that’s the profile we are looking for. We had been linked in the past.
Mourinho let go of Eriksen, Rose, Wanyama, KWP , Vertonghen, Foyth, , Gazzaniga - these were all prominent squad players under Poch.
Sent Clarke & Sess out on loan in his first window.
He extended Dier and Alderweireld.
Nuno let go of Aurier, Alderweireld, Lamela, Sissoko Joe Hart.
Conte let Go of Dele and sent Gil, Lo Celso & N’Dombele away in the same window!
Then he got rid of Bergwijn, Winks, plus Doherty and Reguilon on loan(both Mourinho signings)
When Ange arrived, Lloris and Lucas were already leaving, so the Poch boys left were Kane (who Spurs fans can’t let go of), Dier, Sanchez and Davies. Only Davies remains.
A lot of the deadwood Ange is getting rid of are players we acquired after Poch left. 19-23 are wasted years to me.
Brentford have been trying to flog him for over a yearReally? Has he thought this through?
